Objectives
O1) To develop and broaden the spectrum of critical discussion around the contextual and theoretical universe of the image in the reading,
valorization and communication of artistic heritage.
O2) To stimulate new possibilities for conceiving creative relationships between the different academic research practices in the arts and
humanities that focus on cultural heritage, in order to promote the analysis and theoretical review of authors who have problematized these
issues.
O3) To contribute to and broaden the field of study on the awareness of how images and visual discourses have sustained and maintain
ideologies and decision-making policies in the promotion and management of various artistic heritages.
Program
C1. The relationship between visual arts and cultural heritage in arts and humanities research, situating contexts of (re)knowledge and
dissemination;
C2. Expanded material, tangible, immaterial and digital cultural heritage;
C3. Artistic practices in research as critical multidisciplinary knowledge that drives the study of the impact of art and creativity in various
academic fields;
C4. Alternative, inorganic, fragmented and non-linear research methodologies. Ambivalence and complexity inherent in artistic production
and aesthetic experience and the way it expands the notion of heritage;
C5. Valences and contingencies of the use of analog and digital images in the understanding and dissemination of material heritage and its
articulation with decision-making policies involved in its management;
C6. The conscious use of technological prostheses in the context of contemporary artistic practices and the production of documentation
associated with them, such as augmented reality devices.
Evaluation Methodology
Continuous assessment, resulting from a weighted grade that includes the interventions that doctoral students will be invited to make in
class (30% of the final grade) and the submission of a written essay, of a speculative nature and theoretical-practical, artistic, curatorial
nature, or reflection that expresses the specificity of the student's professional relationship with heritage (70% of the final grade). The
document (PDF) will have a maximum size of 15 pages of text (APA standard, font: Arial, font size: 12, paragraph spacing: 1.5, excluding
cover, indexes, bibliography, ...), with no limit on the visual components.
Students with a mark of 10 or more will be exempt from the exam;
At the time of the exam, the written essay proposed in the context of continuous assessment (70% of the final mark) and a supplementary
exercise proposed for the exam (30% of the final mark) will be required.
